do you see what i see?

Áskell was relieved to hear that the pup was heading back home but at her comment about the strange things that had happened not long ago he felt his blood run cold and his pace slow. His memory stirred. He remembered a time of endless darkness, of voices in his head and of tragedy. He a flash of remembrance of his brother and himself chasing fireflies through a strange and tilting landscape. He couldn't recall for sure but the painful ache that settled in his chest made him sure that his father and brother had passed away during the last event. He needed to get Rheum home as soon as possible.

"I hope not. What happened last fall was… it was very bad. I remember, though, it started when the sun disappeared and didn't return for a long time. We still have the sun now, so I think its different but let's not take any chances." Áskell picked up the pace from a walk into a brisk trot, slowing now and then to make sure the pup kept up.
